Stuck in setup

My gallery has been running flawlessly for several years, now all of a sudden it stopped. I don't remember the error, but I decided to install the update. Now I am stuck on the setup page with this error:

Welcome to Zenphoto! This page will set up Zenphoto 1.4.14 on your web server.

You can take a look at zp-data as there are ZP's own logs. But the PHP server log is better. Ask your host about it. It might be only available on request (on my I have to enabled it first), via backend or even SSH… every host is different…

That's now permissions but robots.txt here should not harm setup to be run. Maybe it is still all permissions in the end. On some servers you need for some reason less than optimal.
Or the file owner is for some reason not the owner that runs PHP processes? That can lead to "funny" results…

That is not necessarily an issue or "showstopper" for running setup, just a warning. This is a stricter permission that not even works on every host (as mentioned all are different).

Sorry, unless you can provide some more errors from the PHP error log, I sadly will not be able to help. Zenphoto runs on fairly standard configured (shared) web hosts without any problem and I installed it on quite a few.

I just wish I was smarter at these things and more interested in backend stuff like when I was younger. These days I just don't have it in me anymore.

Still one of my favorite internet products. That I went three years without a problem, without even logging in (I also had to reset the admin login, as I couldn't even remember or find my login credentials!) speaks volumes.
